"When will they get off the dime and make a true Jimi Hendrix Anthology?98% of these songs can be found on any other Jimi Hendrix Greatest Hits type cd collection.Look,a true Jimi cd collection would include choice cuts from Electric Ladyland,such as Rainy Day,Dream Away,And The Gods Made Love,House Burning Down,cuts from Jimi Hendrix Blues{which Here My Train A-Coming done solo on 12 sting guitar was really first issued on the soundtrack to the film "Jimi"}.Will it take a 3 cd set to get it all,you bet,but this guy deserves a 3 cd set,and not just a box set of alternate takes and what not.This guy was and is still the rock guitar God that those in the know see him as.Lets show some respect,once and for all!"
